Beautiful snowflakes are flying. I haven't seen you for three years.
Last year in Fujian, it seemed a little later than now, and I also saw snow. But that's snow on the top of the mountain in the distance, not flying snowflakes. On the plain, it only occasionally sprinkles a few drops with the rain and never falls to the ground. Its color is gray, not white; Its weight is like raindrops, and it can't fly. As soon as it landed, it immediately melted into water, jumping or sighing without trace, just like when it snowed in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This kind of snow, the old Fujian people I met for the first time in 40 years, can certainly feel special significance and talk about it with relish, but in my opinion, it is always boring. It snows in Fujian, but I don't think so.
I like the flying snowflakes in Shanghai. It is "snow-white" white, as beautiful as a flower. It seems to be lighter than air, not falling from the air, but being rolled up from the ground by the air. However, it is like a living creature, like a group of gnats (ruì) at dusk in summer, like bees in the honey-picking period in spring. It is busy flying, up or down, fast or slow, or sticking to people, or squeezing into the cracks, and seems to have its own will and purpose. It is silent. But when it flies, we seem to hear the cries and footsteps of millions of people, the rough sea, the roar of the forest, and sometimes it seems to hear the whispers of children, the quiet evening prayers in the chapel, the cheerful birds singing in the garden ... It brings gloom and cold. But in its flying posture, we saw a charitable mother, a lively child, smiling flowers, warm sun, silent sunset ... it didn't breathe. But when it jumped on our faces, we seemed to smell the fresh air in the wilderness, the elegant orchids in the valley, the rich roses in the garden, and the faint jasmine ... During the day, it made thousands of beautiful gestures; At night, it gives off silver light, shines on our pedestrians, and draws all kinds of flowers and trees on our glass windows, oblique, straight, curved and upside down. And the river, the clouds in the sky …

Snow, condensed by rain, is the soul of rain. However, although the rain in a warm country is free and lively, it has never turned into cold, hard and brilliant snowflakes. Well-informed people think he is monotonous, and he himself feels very unfortunate? "Mr. Lu Xun is unique in writing snow, and he deliberately asks questions from the beginning, which runs through the whole article: first, compare" rain "with" snow "and lead to the following" Jiangnan Snow "; The second is to connect "snow in the north" with cold, hard and brilliant snowflakes, and pave the way for the end with the full text of "rain".
The author is full of affection for the snow in the south of the Yangtze River, and draws a snow scene in the south of the Yangtze River with youthful vitality, novel artistic conception and rich connotation. The author praises the "nourishing beauty" of the snow scene in the south of the Yangtze River, and highlights its characteristics of quality and shape. Comparing it with The Twilight of Youth and The Skin of a Very Strong Virgin, the admirable "virgin" is the most energetic. Use "virgin's skin" to describe snow, which is white and shiny, tender and delicate, needless to say, and also contains bodybuilding factors; The News of Youth gives a clear philosophical enlightenment: after the winter snow, spring is not far away. Is "Snowfield" so full of vitality and spring?
The author vividly and harmoniously described this snow scene in Jiangnan. There is movement and silence, and movement and silence set each other off. But even this would not be enough We still have to paint a beautiful and innocent childhood scene with meticulous brushwork. How naive and clever the children are! This is the spring flower that really blooms in the snowy area of the south of the Yangtze River!
Then, the author changed the subject and launched a more eye-catching "Shuofang Snow Scene Map". The scenery in the north is magnificent, and the cold and hard "northern snow" is completely different from "Jiangnan snow". Its characteristics and shape are "like powder like sand", "never touching the body" and never melting. Therefore, it can "fly vigorously" with a huge whirlwind as the driving force and "shine" in the sun. Facing the "boundless wilderness" and "chilly sky" created by flying snow, the author tries to describe it in three dimensions to highlight the earth-shattering and unstoppable momentum of flying snow. In this magnificent scene of flying snow, the author can't help feeling surging and thinking galloping. He stared at the snowflake "sparkling, Ran Ran rises" and thought it was "the spirit of rain".
However, because the "Rain Spirit" is in the cold north after all, it is coldly "scattered in the house, on the ground and on the hay" and can't see anything. "It's lonely snow"; It doesn't have the freedom and liveliness of the rain that warmed the whole country. It is a "dead rain", revealing a sense of loneliness and desolation. At this point, Snow in the North also has the problem of "I feel very unfortunate".
After reading the whole article, if you think about it carefully, the difference between the rain in the warm country, the snow in the south of the Yangtze River and the snow in the north of the Yangtze River is just that each has its own "good luck", just like the pendulum of life is always shaking at the poles. Soviet writer Pavkov said: "Happiness is elusive. You never know if it exists. The only way to test whether you are happy is to look at the people around you. "
